By Bill Zalud
You know a security technology is popular when Congress creates a grant program specific for its purchase and when people in the street complain when it is not used.

While the beginnings of mass notification seem to have been phone trees and bullhorns, the most recent generation is smart, electronic and carries messages over myriad means of communications.
The latter is the key to effectiveness. Not everyone is home to answer a Reverse 911 call. Some cell phones are turned off. E-mails may not be opened immediately. Instant Messages may not work for everyone. A voice may not be heard by all or by those with hearing impairments.
